Inspired by this article, I built a small tool in Compose Desktop to more easily iterate through building fancy mesh gradients from @sinasamaki.com's Modifier recipe! Code is here github.com/c5inco/Mesh with the code export assuming you are using the same Modifier recipe

How it started versus how it’s going (maximally truth seeking edition)

Congrats to @bsky.app and all the users and team that make it unique ! 32m users is real !

DOGE is like if Fyre Festival was a government agency.

This is the ultimate dick boss move from Musk - except he isn’t even the boss, he’s just a dick.

Seems Apple traded AI for MagSafe in the iPhone 16e. Yikes considering Apple Intelligence is largely meh

Grade noch rechtzeitig vor der Bundestagswahl: das Opinion-Stück für die @nytimes.com über das Erstarken der Rechtsextremen, effektives "truth twisting" und die deutsche Geschichtsvergessenheit. www.nytimes.com/2025/02/20/o...

Democratic Rep. Robert Garcia has published a letter sent to him by Trump’s Department of Justice threatening to potentially prosecute him for criticizing Elon Musk.

And to think just four days ago, after lecturing the Europeans on free speech, JD Vance was in my Twitter replies lecturing me about free speech too. Oh the shamelessness! This is who they are:

Thank you to @maddow.msnbc.com for promoting @bsky.app on air and complimenting it. Her on air support is truly important

TIL Google Meet supports 1080p recordings. Finally some good news in 2025 😭😆 (though I think the update happened in 2024 - thanks Biden).

if we're gonna get through whatever the fuck we're in right now, at certain points you gotta just shut blatant lies like this down without any hemming and hawing. just like, 'oh that's cute the white house said that. they're wrong.'

Sorry but this is plainly a lie as anyone with eyes to see can tell. www.politico.com/news/2025/02...

“Under what authority are you directing us to do this?” "EO [?]" (sic) www.washingtonpost.com/nation/2025/...

Portuguese editorial cartoonist Zez Vaz reaches back to Tiananmen Square to call on American defiance.

“MaYbe shE’s goiNg to be in TroUble nOw” Maybe he can learn to read. The Constitution would be a good place to start

Adams must be removed. The city cannot sustain being governed for nearly a year by a Mayor who is being coerced by Trump admin in order to escape charges. This corruption poses a real threat to the people of the city. He should have resigned a while ago, but will not. So it’s time for him to go.

You know the car is bad when you gotta game an election to get sales up

Interesting: the State Department’s procurement forecast detailing a $400 million order for "armored Tesla" has now been edited to "armored electric vehicles." The document shows the edit was made tonight at 9:12 p.m. -- after it was highlighted in reports

Dems should propose a law that immediately requires every fed agency to post on @bsky.app account, every outlay with a detailed description, $, and a link to existing gov sites with in depth details Rather than trying to keep Elon out, pre-empt him so he cant miss characterize spending.

We’re done here. Right?

Old school UI inspecting

“A minorrrrrrrr”

Microsoft's own research confirms something that was already pretty obvious: relying on a text generating machine to come up with answers erodes critical thinking, and is a method favoured by those who never liked doing critical thinking in the first place advait.org/files/lee_20...

They are who we think they are

aaaand now it all makes sense

#FYI: ProPublica obtained a vast cache of IRS information showing how billionaires like Jeff Bezos and Elon Musk pay little in income tax compared to their massive wealth — sometimes, even nothing. (Published 2021)

For a photo op & a bragging media post, Trump minions at the USACoE have thrown away millions of gals of #water farmers were relying on for later this year. This water will not be captured, will not be useful for cities or farms or firefighting. It is now lost. www.latimes.com/environment/...

Do not be stunned. Whatever he said he would do, times it by 10

I honestly believe our most powerful position in a toxic time that feeds on cynicism, apathy,& despair is to genuinely care and act for a better world. Cynicism is our enemy. We should check it, incl. on the left. It’s not intellectually superior. It’s the virus they’re trying to infect us with. NO

Getting real close to a billion posts

Funny to watch Piers Morgan and Tucker Carlson arguing about whether Putin or Zelenskyy is the bigger "dictator" while they're both sitting in *checks notes* Saudi Arabia.

🏆 Governor Pritzker- Illinois - has signed an order prohibiting all J6 rioters from state employment.
